Every few months, a big story comes out proclaiming that we’re in another bubble. It reminds me of the “downfall of Apple” nonsense — everyone wants to be the first to correctly “call” what is inevitable (that Apple will fall at some point, as all companies do — and that the tech scene will be hit by hard times again, as all scenes are).

…we often get no facts in these bubble stories, just a bunch of vague fear mongering. The same kind we got a year and a half ago. And a year before that. And a year before that. Etc.

Much respect for his writing usually, but I strongly disagree with this.

We are in a tech bubble. Show me any company in this industry, ANY at all, besides Apple, possibly Google, and Microsoft, that has a sustainable business model and is not bleeding money.
